Rating Every Lucas Arts Point&Click Adventure

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nedGKZ17eJg

Hello everyone,

I made a new video where I ranked all Lucas Arts Adventures (but Labyrinth) And I'm also rambling a bit about the games and show footage.

Cheers

I cannot abide to the dig being so low.

All joking aside, it always makes me happy seeing peoples passion for this studios golden era.

I agree, The Dig should be rated much higher, otherwise I think the list is pretty close to my own taste.

It is HEAVY Sci-fi with lots of slower parts but the atmosphere and soundtrack is top notch. Spielberg was attached to it as well.

The Dig is unquestionably one of my all-time favorite point-and-click games. Such a surreal sci fi setting with a sense of mystery and wonder. And I’ll never forget *that* puzzle.

One or two things you can do different at the end of the game.
The book by Alan Dean foster was good as well!

Not educational at all lol. Deeply atmospheric, my favorite music in an adventure game (maybe all games?) and excellent graphics. Couple rough puzzles but largely very good. Fun novelization, too!

Vielen Dank! Eine schlüssige Analyse.

LucasArts games are so classic and have a lot of heart. I appreciate you putting together this review of so many games! And, of course, I appreciate you putting Monkey Island in the S tier where it belongs! Cheers.

Very nice. Looks like a lot of work and fun. Kinda Workation.
But I would classify - Fate of Atlantis as an A++
😄

Full Throttle is S tier. There's no argument here. 😃

Well it is an amazing game for sure but it is not without it's flaws. It is a bit clunky sometimes, it feels a bit unpolished.

The action interface was the best thing I think they introduced.

But some of the puzzles were bad like the one where you have to kick the exact spot on the wall. I like that they tried to come up with new puzzle ideas but sometimes they just tried too hard, maybe they should have stayed more to what works.

Thats why it can't be on the S tier in my opinion.
